New Zealanders Wanted To 'Test' Condoms

One of the world's largest manufacturers of condoms is targeting New Zealand to test its new range of products, it says, because the people there are among the most sexually active in the world.

While the idea of becoming a condom tester obviously will appeal to many New Zealand males, Durex says it takes the unusual research and development program seriously.

Durex national manager Victoria Potter says New Zealanders pay a price for being among the most sexually active in the world.

"We have very high rates of sexually transmitted infections, we have the third highest rate of unplanned pregnancy in the OECD countries, we have a lot of sexual partners and we are very much into casual sex", she says.

She adds past surveys suggest Kiwis are among the most sexually active in the world, among the highest in the world for sexual partners and one-night stands, as well as being more adventurous when it to comes to experimenting in the bedroom.

Potter says selected test pilots won't be paid, and apart from free condoms, the only reward will be the satisfaction of contributing to the science of sex.
